agree  Inge Meinzer: Yes. If I am not mistaken, there is a phrase *winner of the prelims*
4 hrs
  -> Thank you
neutral  Helen Shiner: My only problem with this is that one does not say 'winner of the preliminary ranking'. But prelim is right./But it is the 'ranking' bit that sounds wrong./Problem is that you can't say 'winner of the results' either./Please see note attached to my answe
8 hrs
  -> Helen, you don't need to agree, if you don't want to - but I think "first/leader of the preliminary ranking" or sth. similar will be a good translation of what Eszter was looking for... ;-)

intermediate stage


Explanation:
I think this literally 'intermediate result' but in the context 'winner of the intermediate stage' of the contest might fit.

'intermediate stage of the competition' gets two google hits as does 'intermediate stage of the contest'.

Winner of Interim Stage/ Phase


Explanation:
etc. It should be followed not by 'Stage/ Phase etc', but by the proper name of the competition, I presume.

[winner of] preliminary round


Explanation:
I think this is how it would be expressed. Sometimes they say this with the initial intention of holding a run-off which then may not happen, perhaps because the entry concerned was way ahead of the field or because they didn't like any of the entries!

In light of what Chetan says, perhaps 'winner of the interim round' would be better - depends of course on how many rounds there were.

Or even 'second round' if that works. Either way, 'round' is very EN in competition circles of whatever nature.

@ Harald. I am not disagreeing for the sake of it! If you want to stick with ranking, I would suggest that you say: that someone was 'ranked first' or 'came first in the ranking'; the version you have suggested just isn't EN, sorry!

agree  Sharon Moler: Agree - sounds idiomatically correct, not stilted or forced
5 hrs
  -> Thank you, Sharon
neutral  casper (X): Helen, wouldn't that be equivalent to "(Sieger der) Vorrunde", I wonder?
5 hrs
  -> I take your point, perhaps your 'interim' would be better. It depends really on how many rounds there are; people do name them strangely at times.
